Stunning

 

[SEL_69L]

That particular model of the Caddy had a sidevalve V16, with the exhaust manifold ON TOP of the engine.

Earlier Caddys had narrow OHV V16's

I know of the existence of four V16's in Sydney, and one sidevalve V16, and three OHV V16's.

Sorry Helmet, I disagree. Sure, it's impressive enough on account of sheer size, but the shape leaves me somewhat uninspired. I wouldn't describe it as timeless elegance. Regards Styria

Ah but as you are so fond of saying Styria, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!!
I would have thought it to be a suitable vehicle for as godfather of your reputation - snuggled in the back with a cigar and a gal from the Tivoli?
